If you're looking for a powerful gaming laptop that won't break the bank, you definitely won't want to miss this HP Victus 16 at Best Buy for just $849 (was $1,399).
While this isn't the cheapest gaming laptop on the market right now, it's the cheapest you'll find anywhere to pack a beefy RTX 4070 graphics card. That alone is a rare component to see for under $1,000, but you also get a respectable AMD Ryzen 7 chipset and 16GB of DDR5 RAM to back it up, meaning this machine isn't just about the graphics card.
With specs like these, you'll have no problem playing any of the latest games on the market, even at higher graphics settings. The RTX 4070 is tailor-made for gaming at 1440p, so you shouldn't break a sweat with this machine's 16-inch, 144Hz, 1080p display.
Cheap RTX 4070 gaming laptop at Best Buy
If there's a weakness with this particular machine, it's that the Victus isn't intended to be one of HP's high-end models, despite the incredible specs on offer here.
That means you shouldn't expect the lightest or thinnest body, and the display on this machine will also be no match for the really fancy OLED displays that are becoming more common in premium laptops. As a 300 nit IPS panel, it will still perform well. Just know that it's not the brightest screen on the market right now.
We covered a more basic setup of this machine with our HP Victus 16 review, so I recommend going there if you want a more detailed look.
